Charleen and Ellie share all the stories from their incredible 3-week trip to Australia back in January. They share the highlights, from paragliding, snorkelling and catching up with friends and family, as well as the lowlights, including free-roaming lizards and very questionable hostels!

In Secrets From The Stalls, the girls help with advice on how to meet people offline, and for Phone A Friend, our followers help with advice on whether a boyfriend REALLY meant it when he said he didn't love his girlfriend.

The bonus episode is back - and it's completely revamped!

Prepare for Charleen and Ellie to be a bit more loose, opinionated and honest in your extra weekly fix of Hold My Drink. There's two brand new segments - Rant of the Week, where the girls give out about robbers and small parking spaces; and If I Was You, where they give advice for a more light-hearted dilemma or first world problem.

Happy New Year, Birds! In our first episode of 2024, Charleen and Ellie talk about New Years traditions and kisses. The girls listen back to the New Years Resolutions they made at the start of 2023 to see how many of them they stuck to, as well as making new Resolutions for the year ahead.

The girls answer your dilemmas in Secrets From The Stalls, including whether a listener should wait around for a guy who is very busy with setting up a business right now? And should a girl stay with her boyfriend of four years when they don't do much together as a result of his anxieties?

We've got an update from a listener about a family dilemma!

There's also brand new dilemmas this week. How can you stop loving your ex who you were with for 12 years? Does friends with benefits actually work? How do you approach a guy that you really like? And should you continue to speak to someone when you know you're moving abroad soon?

We are joined by Bee, Ro and Teddy C of the Ireland's dance pop trio, Chasing Abbey! The lads chat to us about their start in music together, achieving number one songs, supporting international superstars and playing sold out live shows around Europe. They also open up about relationships and how to maintain them while touring. And they let us in on what to expect from their upcoming shows at the 3Olympia Theatre on Friday, 5th April and Saturday, 4th May 2024! You can get tickets on chasingabbey.ie and make sure to follow @chasingabbey on social media!

In Secrets From The Stalls, the girls help with a girl's dilemma about her boyfriend going to nightclubs when he has told her before that they are a "place to meet people". And what do you do when you're caught up with a family friend?

There is an update from a recent dilemma this week, as well as a whole bunch of new dilemmas too!

Can you finally get through to your friend who keeps getting back together with her emotionally abusive and manipulative ex-boyfriend? Should you try things out with your ex-boyfriend's cousin? And what do you do if you're getting the ick from a boy and are nearly embarrassed to talk to anyone about him?

It's the Hold My Drink Christmas Special and we are feeling fully festive! Charleen and Ellie make some Christmas cocktails and chat about Christmas traditions, and the best and worst presents they've ever received.

You sent in your Christmas dilemmas in this festive edition of Secrets From The Stalls, and the girls help with what to buy your boyfriend when it's your first Christmas together, getting re-gifted presents, and how to not ruin Christmas (or absolutely do) by drinking too much.

We hope your Christmas is wonderfully peaceful and thanks for listening to Hold My Drink this year!

We've got an update on a healthy relationship that broke up and were considering getting back together - did they?! You'll find out in this episode, as well as hearing brand new dilemmas too.

Can you forgive the boy you're seeing since June after he kissed someone else? Is the guy you ended up back in yours really just bad on his phone, or is there something he is hiding? And does your ex want to get back with you because he is calling and texting more often lately?
